John Brown (quad) not at open portion of Cardinals' practice

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver John Brown was not at the open portion of Thursday's practice, according to AZCardinals.com's Darren Urban.

What It Means:

Brown battled quad injuries all throughout camp and has now logged back-to-back DNPs heading into this week's matchup with the Indianapolis Colts. Even limited participation in Friday's practice would go a long way toward Brown starting Week 2. If he doesn't play, Urban notes that either J.J. Nelson or Jaron Brown will be the number two wideout, depending on the offensive package.

Our algorithms like Brown to yield 3.7 receptions, 52.4 yards and 0.18 touchdowns on 6.5 targets if he's healthy. At $5,800, he's projected for 8.2 FanDuel points versus the Colts.
